Chapter 5
Doubts of confusion and despair drifted into Kaiba's mind at the thought of being stranded in a pit of complete desolation with the one person that got him in this mess in the first place. He tapped his fingers relentlessly on his elbow as minutes turned into hours for what it seemed like to him. The goof was now starring off into space, his brain becoming a deep void by the minute as Kaiba kept glimpsing at his watch as if time itself was playing a fateful game of patience to see how long he could endure such misery and boredom. The haughty, towering teen was beginning to lose his patience; his cobalt eyes tightening with aggravation as the sun began to descend toward the horizon. If this reality was to become his hell then he had experienced it way before hand then he planned to.
"I can't believe we're still stuck here?" Doesn't anyone know that we are in this hell hole?" Kaiba stomped his right foot, his moderate weight leaving a foot print in the dirt.
"Guess not," Joey shrugged his shoulders, "we should really come up with a plan to get out of here you know and I don't see you doing anything except complaining."
"What can I do huh? You expect me to get on my hands and knees and scramble out of here? Not on your life Wheeler," Kaiba twisted his body to where his back was facing Joey while he remained motionless and silent for a moment.
"No," Joey suddenly exclaimed being astounded by Seto's impetuous remark "but it would be funny to see "The Great Seto Kaiba" on his knees," he added in a mocking tone not realizing Kaiba was clenching his fists as if Joey's head was in his clutch.
"Funny," Kaiba uttered sardonically, his smile only being a smirk, "isn't it ironic that you would say that to me when you know that you're the one always at my heels like the good dog you are?"
"Kaiba! Joey waved his fist dangerously; "you better quit calling me a dog before I wipe that smirk off your face."
"The truth hurts doesn't it puppy?" he scoffed walking away from the angry youth who wanted to give him a one way trip to the emergency room.
"You stuck up prissy asshole! I was going to tell you my plan on how to get out of here, but you would rather insult me instead," Joey pointed out as he watched Kaiba's whole demeanor drastically change.
"You better tell me right now or else you'll be in a world full of pain once I get through with you!" Kaiba gripped his fists and swung his right arm in a downward motion to prove that he was deadly serious of the whole matter.
"When you put that way," Joey gulped, I have no choice but to tell you."
"Tell me already! My patience grows thin by the second," Kaiba yelled feeling infuriated as he seized Joey by his shirt collar and held him to his cerulean eyes that seemed in Joey's mind to be changing to scarlet as his temper rose.
"Okay, Joey whimpered; please put me down," he struggled in Kaiba's iron like grip before the heartless teen tossed him away like a piece of trash.
Joey wiped the dust of himself the best he could after staggering to his feet while Kaiba forced himself not to exasperate himself any longer. He was never going to forget this experience for if he did, the same predicament could happen in his nightmares.
"I see that you are annoyed so I'll be quick about it. I was wondering if I could stand on your shoulders to get out. With your height Kaiba I could easily reach the top and then I could pull you up," Joey sheepishly spoke eyeing Kaiba's change of expression that read not on your life Wheeler.
"You want to trample and ruin my white trench coat with your dirty clodhoppers so you can just run off when you get out? "Do you take me for a total idiot?" Kaiba jeered at Joey who only slapped his forehead.
"No. Just forget about what I said. What do you have in mind?"
"I'll get on your shoulders and haul you up once I'm out," Kaiba flatly said.
Joey thought for a minute of what Kaiba just said and the words practically startled him to say the least. Kaiba was much taller then himself and therefore would weigh more and not only that, but the extra weight from his white expansive trench coat would only be another burden to Joey's limited strength.
"That's not going to work Mr. I'm taller and I weigh more then you. You would crush me in a matter of seconds." Joey backed away from Kaiba who was drawing near.
"Are you saying I'm heavy now? Kaiba accused feeling bewildered by Joey's comment.
"No, I don't mean it like that. I'm just stating the obvious. You are taller then me and you most likely weigh more then I do as well." Joey accidentally backed himself in a corner.
"Let's hope you meant that," he glared before stepping back.
"I did. I respect you Kaiba. Let's just forget again about what I said."
"You keep babbling like a moron and I'll forget everything you say to me on purpose. This bickering is getting us no where. Looks like I'll have to be the brains of this operation, he paced from side to side "I'll right, I've decided. I'm going to throw you up like a ball and hopefully you won't bash your head open," Kaiba seized Joey and held him over his head like a dumbbell.
"Are you sure about this? I'm not an object. I could get hurt and you'll be the one I blame."
"I'll take my chances," Kaiba strived not to stumble or trip as he gritted his teeth from Joey's weight forcing fatigue into his biceps.
Just when he was about to hurl Joey to whom no's where, a sinister chuckle erupted from above making Kaiba lose his focus and plunge Joey on top of him.
"Hello Kaiba, the insidious voices caused terror in both Kaiba and Joey's hearts.
"Not them! Yami I wish you were here right now," Kaiba spoke to himself as he attempted not to falter or give in to any fear that rose in his mind.
That was a long chapter. Whose voices do those belong to? What will become of Joey and Kaiba? Chapter 6 will be up soon and maybe more quickly if I get lots of reviews.
